Only perform this repair if you have good mechanical knowledge and the proper tools. The first step is to remove the transmission and place it on a workbench.

To install the new seal, clean the seal seating thoroughly and use the appropriate centering tool to insert it correctly into its seat.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
